I've never heard someone IRL talking about Teslas when they mean some other EV or EVs in general. So no, it doesn't seem like the kleenex effect at all, it's just much more attention grabbing to talk about Teslas specifically in an article, so it's done even thigh it's misleading.
Like, the actual article mostly only mentions EVs but then the headline says Tesla. It's clickbait. IMO the HN title should be edited to "Electric Vehicle fires..."
- bestnameever 4y ago> The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is aware of multiple fires in Tesla vehicles, the agency said in a letter sent Friday (Oct 14) to a Florida official and obtained by Bloomberg Government. Perhaps due to the popularity of Teslas, it is being seen in them more so than other vehicles
- s1artibartfast 4y agoIs it being seen more in Teslas? It is unclear from this shitty article
